Great Video my Friend and when I saw the Video Title I was thinking” how to retrieve a LipLess” stuck on a tree limb lol. I’m the Old Guy that calls every LipLess a “Rattle Trap”.
Last year I tried to catch bass on baits I never had success on. I caught them on spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, crankbaits, jigs and drop shot. I'm still working on the frog and lipless crankbait. I did catch my 3 biggest bass this year all on a Texas rigged green pumpkin Mag Fatty. Two were 6lb and one 7lb. Love your videos.
Try fishing a spinner on the bottom and bounce it up and let it fall back down to the surface.Repeat this process over and over all the way back to the boat.
I try Texas rigs and spinnerbaits once in a while and get nothing. I get my Mepps spinners, Dardevil spoons and Hulla poppers and i do a killing. Did Texas with a zoom finesse chartreuse and pearl creature worm yesterday,got a hit in 90 mn. Got my 1/4 oz Mepps Chartreuse and got 2 spotted bass. I guess whatever works. It helps to have 2-3 poles pre rigged even though i fish from shore. I had no ruler or scale but i caught my biggest bass on a red and white Dardevil spoon. I was so happy, i was screaming at boaters to look at it. What i like with spoons and spinners, you can catch most species. You increase your chances to land something.
“Sometimes I throw red because I want to throw red.” This is an invaluable and freeing statement/sentiment that brings joy to me as an angler. I live my life in a “ they bit that one, now how about the next and the next. Love staying open and curious. There’s no one “deal/juice” lure because as soon as you unhook and recast that success snapshot tis quickly in the rear view and the rich what if of the future is free to surprise again. Just wanted to pause the video and toss props. I find your sharing to be as Authentic as they come. Thank you B
Thanks for the love. I actually have a hard time answering some questions about what I use often times. Sometimes I don’t have a reason. It’s literally just what I use and it’s worked. Other times maybe I do have a complicated explanation. Most of the time my choice is a mental confidence thing for me and has nothing to do with the fish’s preference
I’m becoming a big fan of your videos. Just getting back into fishing after many years and your ability to break things down to simply make sense is so refreshing and inspires me to get out and put all you say to practical use. Thanks so much Brian.
I tend to hang up and snag often by letting it go to bottom. Your video gives me confidence to pursue it more and not get frustrated when I get stuck on bottom. I guess as you mentioned, it’s about where you throw it. Also I hear your words of wisdom with the key words being “learn it” and “learning” how to throw a lipless crank bait. Thanks for the video Sir! P.s. I been learning to fish the goat. Caught a few other day first time throwing it. Baby goat on finesse ned rig 1/10th oz. Hot snakes color. I swear every time I see or use a Zman product the name Brian Latimer comes to mind. Its always a positive good thought seeing a flash of some video I watched of yours describing a particular bait. Happy Thanksgiving to you btw! Hope you have a good holiday!!
I really like how you take time to show the , how , why , what . On every aspects of you fishing videos. You make a difference. I also would love to fish with you. Blessed
Lipless crank was the first moving bait I got a lot of confidence in, chatterbaits being the second. It's probably a toss up between which one has caught me more fish. But I ALWAYS love hearing experienced guys give tips on them, especially you man. You really know your stuff, you're super honest and don't BS, and you have years of valuable experience to back up everything you say. You're one of my favorites to learn from. Keep it coming B.
Just got my first LMB on a bill Lewis rattle trap thank you B Lat for the lessons. It was a blue back herring (I live in northern Virginia and I’m pretty sure they don’t have those here lol) and I just threw it cause I felt like it looked right for the water and time of day. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I also think youre probably more correct on what matters the most.. cors are important but ii think your right on on the location, presentations, size are the main things.
Loved your answer to the always strange question of "which lure is best?" Whichever one caught the last or biggest fish. Even though it's more complex that that, it's also less complex than that. More blankets AND less blankets!
I have been a salt water fisherman all my life just getting into fresh water and any time I’m looking for answers on what lures to use and how to use them I look you up thanks for putting out these videos
I love lipless crankbaits, you hit the color part to a T. I do my best fishing with them. Caught majority of my fish all year long with them. My favorite is a spro aruku 75 with the clear chartreuse color
That aruku shad is always tied on for me. I like the fact that they are more weedless than any other I have tied on. Why? I don’t know. I will use a silent one with a bladed treble on rear hook, steady and slow when nothing is working, it messes with the action a bit but finicky bass will bite it
You should do video every month showing what you favorite baits for that month. Also do you throw a rigs at hartwell? Also have you tried the willow vibe I think that would be a good alternative to a underspin in the dishes on all the sc herring lakes we both live around
Great video! Liked the 3 reasons you liked this bait which could be why you like any artificial. I just hard such a hard time with ‘em on the bottom, getting hung-up on everything within 3’ of this bait LOL!
That's good stuff, Thanks for sharing the info. I'm on the Cal Delta, I basically do the same thing, but with one adjustment. Spring time, rain or shine, Fisherman's cut, (off entry into Franks Track) mid to high tide. I use 3/4 oz. rattle traps, they're heavier and need to be worked fast in that 3-4' of water above the weeds, ..its the speed that triggers the fish. I use the rod tip to firmly, rip the bait "up and out" of the weeds ..looking to move the bait 2+ feet UP in the water column, then let fall ..repeat back to the boat. They'll hit on the rip or fall ..no question when they do.
Never caught a single fish on one. Just started trying them out this fall though. Can't wait to hook one with a lip less. The buzzbait and plopper bite slowed way down. Looking for something to catch em still.
I just caught 16 one one yesterday. Same color and all. 2 years ago I tried one and caught a 8 pounder and been fishing with them every since. I live soft plastic but never caught big fish. I caught alot nitvnot big. Last few years I been catching studs on lipless. I don't even use regular crank baits. Plus having a kayak for like 2 years now might helped also. I usually on could back fish. Get u a 1 knocker red and yellow red and orange or all red and u catch them all year round. I have no luck on shad color not even in the fall where they say make the hatch.
Would love to fish with you as a student though. I started fishing as a kid with my dad and started getting back into it in my early 20s now I'm always trying to fish but I know I still need to learn a lot more. Would love to have someone like you as a teacher
B Lat. I will be fishing Hartwell next weekend with some of my fishing club buddies (Knot Right Bassmasters). Any suggestions on what we should be using and what areas to target to be successful while we are there?
Love this video I have 4 of your blat sick stick lipless/bladed jig rods I love them they are a little heavy that’s the only bad thing I will say but other than that probably my favor rod
Been using Bass Pro’s lipless crank baits and they work great, and have a great price point at $3.99. Red tiger in the fall in Florida has been busting it!
good way to map out the bottom without electronics is a heavy jig on straight braid. If your rod isn't a wet noodle you'll feel every pebble and blade of grass
I worked on making a kind of Venn diagram. Of conventional tackle saltwater fishing. And conventional tackle freshwater fishing. Over the course of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Lots of friends that I knew. Took up fishing. For the first time (probably since they were kids). And they all reached for gear rods and reels. That I don't know enough about. I got asked a lot of questions (living in a country with lots of coastline, most people are not very far from that type of area). That is accessible to them to fish in. In relation to the Venn diagram. It was interesting. An extent to which almost all of the lures and rigging systems. That are used by gear anglers in freshwater. Are replicated by saltwater anglers in some way. And there are not very many things. For medium sized fish (say speckled trout or freshwater bass). That one side uses. And the other. Does not.
And I'm not talking. About just any shrimp. There is one particular one. That amateur evening and weekend saltwater anglers. Of all shades and sizes. Seem to reach for. When things are bad. The Voodoo shrimp. There are a few lures in bass. That have a mysterious aura around them. And anglers only speak of those lures. In hushed tones. Late at night. That is kind of what. The Voodoo shrimp is to saltwater angling. Apart from whatever it represents. It just seems to be. A well designed, well constructed bait. And nothing else. Or at least. That would be my hypothesis. I was wondering. Is there any good reason? Why freshwater bass anglers. Have never thrown a Voodoo shrimp lure? I mean. Other than the obvious. That shrimp live in saltwater. Not in freshwater. I would be fascinated to know. What a freshwater bass would do. When confronted with that lure.
I have never caught anything on these baits yet I have lots of them. Guess if you don't catch any fish on them you just don't throw them when you should I guess. Great video 📹 👍
"Sometimes I wanna throw red, man" I feel you....I do that all the time. I'll start catching them on something and someone will ask me why that one.....I dunno, the water was clear and it was bright, a black n blue creature bait not sposed to work as good as a natural...but I just felt like throwing it.....
Brian when I pump a trap namely Lucky Craft LV 200 & 500's what's causing or what am I doing that twist the bait up ?? Should I use loop knot or swivel sir ?? Thanks in advance Happy Thanksgiving Happy Holidays God Bless !!
I'm still waiting on the lipless bite, I throw it often but I think the environment isn't right for it, no/ wrong cover, save with the spinner bait. But in not giving up on them.
Every time I try jigging a lipless on bottom I foul my front hooks in my line- what am I doing wrong? Do I need to run a heavier line- I'm running 30lb braid to 10 pound fluoro. The heavier line sinks slower- maybe that's it. I'm lazy so I just leave 10 on it, that's what I crank with but- I could up it to 15 I guess. Or i could run mono- doesn't sink at all, and gives me a little stretch to help play the fish- but I'm used to cranking on fluoro cause I like the direct connection I have to my bait- makes it super responsive and gives you more sensitivity. .
Bro, I love how you're so honest about things and you're not out here saying the same stuff as everyone else.... keeping it real.
I like how Brian Latimer keeps things simple and honest. Totally agree with his approach.
I had never considered squirrel fishing before. I may as well considering my lures spend most of their time in the branches anyway.
😂
I have to say, you are an incredible teacher. You have a great way of explaining

Crankbaits are my favorite. Too much fun, catching or not it's always a good time.

“Sometimes I throw red cause… I wanna throw red” lol

All I want for Christmas is a B Lat beard. Dude beard game on point😄😄
Great videos I like simple and you keep it real and simple saludos from Texas
Lipless with that Soleus reel. Smooth like butter..love mine
It's official. You amd NDyakangler are the best fishing channels. Instant sub. Love how simple and laid back you make fishing. Good stuff bro💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Glad I found someone else that likes squirrel fishing.
I also think youre probably more correct on what matters the most.. cors are important but ii think your right on on the location, presentations, size are the main things.
B latbis one of the best lipless fisherman in the world for real! Love the yo zuri 3db lipless catch alot of fish on them in the fall and winter
Probably one of my top 3 confidence baits. Great video B. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
great vid BLat! I love the “ there’s not a wrong way to fish it. If you’re not getting that, then that’s the wrong way to fish it“. lol.
getting “bit”, not ‘that’. Come on, siri!
Great video!!! Great humor as well 🤣 I've always just yanked the things. Love learning new tricks and techniques. Thanks!! 😍
Love seeing you use your custom colors B Lat I hope you’re very proud of yourself because to me you’re an inspiration.
How do you keep the trap from staying hung up, I fish mostly from the bank and lose a bunch of them?
Loved your answer to the always strange question of "which lure is best?" Whichever one caught the last or biggest fish. Even though it's more complex that that, it's also less complex than that. More blankets AND less blankets!
Great instruction and natural sense of humor! ☺️
Thanks for this, I’ve not fished them often enough or with any decent amount of confidence. That’ll change soon.
My Man, I would love to go fishing with you just to learn,laugh, and get country in your boat 🤷🏻♂️😂🎣😎💯
Great info B Lat! Thank you Sir.
I have been a salt water fisherman all my life just getting into fresh water and any time I’m looking for answers on what lures to use and how to use them I look you up thanks for putting out these videos
The rattle bots are the best got alot of fish on them highly recommend!
Love the Channel !
Thank you! So very helpful!
That boy say he coulda been squirrel fishing with that cast!

I like a high pitch sound in warmer water and a lower knock in cooler water, and silent in cold water below 53
I am following your tips Brian!! 🎣🙋🏽♀️
You should do video every month showing what you favorite baits for that month. Also do you throw a rigs at hartwell? Also have you tried the willow vibe I think that would be a good alternative to a underspin in the dishes on all the sc herring lakes we both live around
I already do that though buddy. That’s what you’re watching.
Wellllllll, you're kinda watching it buddy. 🤣
Love the way you explain things. Was getting many on rocky points with chrome lipless
Lol words of the wise " just throw it till you get bit" love it 😂
😂 or put it down and grab something else if they don’t want it that day
@@BrianLatimerFishing yup lol good luck out there bro have fun be safe and tight lines!👊
Great video! Liked the 3 reasons you liked this bait which could be why you like any artificial. I just hard such a hard time with ‘em on the bottom, getting hung-up on everything within 3’ of this bait LOL!

Thanks for the tips...i struggle with lipless... Beard is looking sharp sir!
Thanks again Brian!

Well Done!! Thanks B 😊👍👍
I'm gonna have to watch this when I get home. Just picked up some the other day and I'm ready to throw em.

Early summer i smoke bass, wiper, and even walleye on a lipless
"sink to taste" amazing
Man's goin squirrel fishin aayyeee! 😂 bo that made me make a noise bahha
What weight and color works great for shallow and murky water?

That is, except for one bait type. That you did mention in this piece. You said it. The shrimp.
And I'm not talking. About just any shrimp. There is one particular one. That amateur evening and weekend saltwater anglers. Of all shades and sizes. Seem to reach for. When things are bad. The Voodoo shrimp. There are a few lures in bass. That have a mysterious aura around them. And anglers only speak of those lures. In hushed tones. Late at night. That is kind of what.

Good stuff,
I used to have zero confidence in this bait, the more I use it the more i love it,
You should give your top 5 lip less baits and color?
Yeah it’s a good one. How do you feel about the process I use for color selection i mentioned in the video…
@@BrianLatimerFishing Your process for color choice is the same as mine Brian! I just don't catch any fish, and you do!
Also, your beard is much better than mine as well.... =)
@@BrianLatimerFishing best way to choose color just go with the flow
Good stuff Brian
I threw lipless and spinnerbaits probably 95% of the time this year. I just find them to be so much more fun than plastics/finesse stuff.
Love your content and what you’re about. Can you get a mic though. I’m watching on my phone and I can’t hear you.
Just subbed.
I got a subway sandwich ad on this video. 🙏
I notice you line all twisted up , don’t you use line relax spray
What kind of knot did he tie at the 5 minute mark?
He always ties the palomar
“Ion even like em, but since it’s here,” ain’t that the truth
I'm still waiting on the lipless bite, I throw it often but I think the environment isn't right for it, no/ wrong cover, save with the spinner bait. But in not giving up on them.
I want to fish with you Blat
Brian. Come fish against me!!! Pro vs Joe. GreenPond. Falcon vs Falcon. Should get plenty of views. lol
I feel like my uncle is teaching me to fish bop bop there it is
Murdered on a lipless a couple weeks ago in gin clear water ripping it fast. A bit of a shiny bluegill color.
That's the crank bait I have trouble with.
I get violent strikes working it like a jerkbait not super fast though
Every time I try jigging a lipless on bottom I foul my front hooks in my line- what am I doing wrong? Do I need to run a heavier line- I'm running 30lb braid to 10 pound fluoro. The heavier line sinks slower- maybe that's it. I'm lazy so I just leave 10 on it, that's what I crank with but- I could up it to 15 I guess. Or i could run mono- doesn't sink at all, and gives me a little stretch to help play the fish- but I'm used to cranking on fluoro cause I like the direct connection I have to my bait- makes it super responsive and gives you more sensitivity. .
Try 15-17lb fluorocarbon. Let it fall back a little more controlled by keeping the line tighter
Found it.
